That's dollars, so it works out at about £4800 (plus shipping, VAT, import duty etc., admittedly). Although it sounds like a lot, an L2 or XL2 in very good nick will be around the 2K mark these days, so for a very early prototype in near mint condition, I wouldn't be too surprised if there's someone in the States who might be prepared to pay that amount.

Hellzero Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 For an instrument played for 10 minutes over the last 38 years, it's absolutely not in pristine condition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 That one pops up now and again. Speaking fo Steiny prices, the ones for sale in Japan - and there seems to be hell of a lot of them! - are around the £3K+ mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's more due to the exchange rate with the Yen - not good at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The original prototype was a bit more whacky. And a later one, from '78. I have never known of this one's existence until today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who the “prominent New York” player was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
